cuqi.samples.Samples.burnthin

Samples.burnthin(Nb, Nt=1)

Remove burn-in and thin samples. The burnthinned samples are returned as a new Samples object.

Parameters:

• Nb (int) – Number of samples to remove as burn-in from the start of the chain.

• Nt (int) – Thin samples by selecting every Nt sample in the chain (after burn-in)

Example

# Remove 100 samples burn in and select every 2nd sample after burn-in # Store as new samples object S_burnthin = S.burnthin(100,2)

# Same thing as above, but replace existing samples object # (the burn-in and thinned samples are lost) S = S.burnthin(100,2)
